Also, this song is awful. Kelis has so little charisma, it makes me uncomfortable just to listen to it.

And (way x-post)she has already produced a slice of genius and it was called Milkshake. I'm amazed that The Lex didn't/hasn't realised this.
And as Rodney says, this doesn't stop the new single being meh at best

This post seemed to imply that you didn't think Milkshake was her masterpiece, bearing in mind that Milkshake was already released at this stage.

Anyway, I dunno, I just found it an incredibly uneven listen... I actually sold it and I LOVE Kelis really! But this probably says more about my fussiness in general than the actual record in the end.
I do want to smack Pharrell quite early on in Kaleidoscope though - TOO. MANY. SHOUTOUTS. X(

I'm forgiving of the weaker tracks: even half-arsed material like "Ghetto Children" is kinda goofy and silly and fun. And the run from "Good Stuff" to "Mafia" is the strongest four song succession on an R&B album that I can think of offhand.
Just listened to "Caught Out There" again, I'd forgotten the spoken-word intro. "....WHO'VE BEEN LIED TO BY THEIR MEN! AND I KNOW Y'ALL BEEN LIED TO! OVER & OVER AGAIN!"

The Neptunes were never this pretty again, sadly.
― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Saturday, 5 August 2006 11:22 (seventeen years ago) link
Still think the beat is MASSIVELY too high & hard in the mix on "Get Along With You" (another reason for smacking! and I don't like that fake i.d. mix either..) which REALLY pisses me because that track seriously 'got' me unexpected one night when I was in a post break-up state of mind.

sounds like an 808 kick but the maracas are definately not 808. clap could have been originally. i was just lazy and got tricked by the lyrics. sadly the songs appeal has started to wear out but i got a couple of good weeks out of it. maybe there will be another good song on the album.
ps. i have noticed since last posting how much i love how she says: "i switched up the beat of the drum" she sounds like an ignorant, petulant 8 year old girl. great.

i'm on the tennis court this morning and what pops into my head but BOSSY! so random, playing tennis with that video in mind.

I always thought it was cruel of her to dye her poodle green in that video. At least you weren't playing tennis with "Blindfold Me" video in mind. That would've been weird.

Know what's a great song? Help Me, the track she did with Timo Maas some years back.

"Help Me" is classic and more people should know about it. Sadly, this chick's career is kinda dead. I've been a fan (moreso of her persona) since day one and hoped that one day she would make a real masterpiece of an album front to back, but I don't see it happening. Wanderland was the closest she came, imo. I hope the future proves me rong.
